Have you noticed that many baby bottles are now made without BPA (Bisphenol A)? Well, Brittaini, founder of Long Mountain Art, has taken great notice to such harmful bi-products.

The very eco-savy Brittaini pays much attention to keeping her products friendly to our environment. Long Mountain Art focuses on making unique clothing for boys and girls all while keeping in mind the products used to produce such cute kid wear.

Brittaini explained to me that PVC and Phthalates that go into plasticine inks (substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity) can be very harmful and exposure is associated with endocrine and reproductive organ harm. Can you imagine?! This is a big reason why manufacturers stopped using BPA to make baby bottles because BPA contains PVC and Phthalates. YIKES!

Consequently, Long Mountain Art was founded! And check out Brittaini's oober cute t's!

Brittaini, mommy of a cutie son, Santiago (+ one on the way in June. Yay!) is an art teacher by day and has a vast knowledge of various media and silk screening. Brittaini tells me that she really needed to "quench a need for cool unique clothes for boys that weren't your typical truck, dinosaur, or sports themes." So, naturally Long Mountain Art was created and became an outlet for her.

And, trust me, her t-shirts ooze detail!

I was lucky enough to review a beautiful shirt from Long Mountain Art and to say the least, I was not disappointed! The cotton is thick yet, so so super soft. The print and detail is nothing like I would ever be able to find in a store! (Which is perfect for this Mama who likes to keep her baby looking unique!)

And wouldn't you know it?! The ever so nice Brittaini would like to share the love of her culturally inspired and eco-friendly t-shirts by offering one lucky reader a t-shirt or onsie of their choice!

Giveaway will end April 1st at 11:59 CST. Winner will be chosen via random.org and contacted via email. The winner will have 48 hours to respond. Must be 18 to enter, US entries only. Many thanks to Brittaini and Long Mountain Art for hosting this fabulous giveaway!

so, hopefully this counts: I don't write a "gratitude journal" but I've started a "reasons why I love my husband journal" and everyday I write a reason why I love my husband. so far, i've been very grateful for my fabulous husband!
